Background: Currently, due to the increase in life expectancy and the increasing need for the development of specialized types of medical, social, psychological, and spiritual services to people of older age groups, there is a rethinking of aging as a stage of human life. The aim of the study: To study the modern concept of resilience in gerontology and geriatrics on the basis of literature data. Materials and methods: We studied the literature data using the following key words: resilience, functional ability, life environment, the frailty syndrome, aging, gerontology, geriatrics, intrinsic capacity, functional ability for 2008-2019 in computer databases: PubMed, Medical-Science, Elibrary, Ceeol, JSTOR, Web of Science, Scopus. Results: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), normal aging is characterized by several criteria. These include intrinsic capacity, life environment and functional ability. Recently, an increasing number of specialists in the field of gerontology and geriatrics recommend adding to this list such notion as resilience. The resilience is a bio-psycho-social phenomenon in people of older age groups, the essence of which is the possibility of mobilizing resources of individual viability to maintain the functional ability of the geriatric patient under the influence of adverse factors of the internal or external environment. The frailty syndrome and the resilience are opposite but complementary conditions that characterize the geriatric patient. The main questionnaires and scales for identifying the level of age viability are the following: the Resilience Scale; the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale; the Hardy-Gill Resilience Scale; the scale of multidimensional individual and interpersonal assessment of age viability (MIIRM). Conclusion: Concretization of the main goal of gerontoprevention through resilience will make preventive programs in gerontology and geriatrics more targeted, focused on both biological and psycho-social components, and the applied methods and techniques targeted, aimed at specific changes in old age, which will ultimately improve the quality of life and dignity of geriatric patients.

Keywords: resilience, functional ability, life environment, the frailty syndrome, aging, gerontology, geriatrics, intrinsic capacity, functional ability.
